You know, now that I think of it, I had a friend in college years ago who (previous to college) was a homeless single mom. She got on a program in California that paid her rent for a few years while she went to school. I'm not sure if it was part of Social Security or not, but I seem to remember it was a state program.
I think there are better programs, in general, for single moms and/or abused women, but I don't know much about that.
So she'd be an example of someone who took advantage of a program and was helped, but I don't think she's a good fit when people are talking about street-feeding the homeless. She was highly motivated to do something about her life. because of her kid, and didn't need much pushing to get onto a program.
